Subject: Quoted characters in From: line
Date: 16 Dec 1999 18:50:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3puw6rczt.fsf.emacs.gnus@rscholz.dyndns.org> (raw)
Some people use nicknames in their From: line like:
From: "John \"Foo\" Doe" <john@doe.com>
Gnus currently displays that in the summary buffer as:
John \
RFC822 tells me that quoting with `\' is allowed for quoted-strings
(i.e. strings surrounded by `"'s). I think Gnus is wrong in truncating
the name. This may also apply to other lines in the header.
[Ugh, quoted-printable with =, quoting characters with \, quote
delimiter ", and quoting of citations with >, this confuses me...]
Cheers,
Ray
P.S.: Can I switch off the behaviour that message mode thinks, _any_
line beginning with a single word and a colon needs to be
highlighted. Even in the body of the message? (The P.S.: line is an
example of this). Wouldn't it make more sense to restrict this
behaviour by regarding `gnus-visible-headers' f.e.?
